I'm going to slightly reclue this (trying to remember the actual wording of the clue as I saw it a week or two ago in a paper):

Shadowy senior figure behind the scenes who pulls the strings and makes enemies cringe (8,5) - a foreign expression

Another hint - it's an anagram.

Also I'm surprised Denis hasn't jumped on this as it's French!

I knew the answer because I had seen this one
not long ago (was it here?), so didn't "cheat"!

Proof as a hint: Lord Grey in Paris...

Final hint before all is revealed, the four es are positioned thus:

I picked two words with four e's, "enemies cringe" and got
eminence grise. Anagram.

Sometimes lost is where you need to be. Just because you don't know your direction doesn't mean you don't have one.

I dug "babiole" out of the dictionary to mean bauble or trinket - is that incorrect?

It's probably correct, but I never heard it before. My French is not as good as Parisian French, we grew up using slang French.
Ex: I say joual instead of cheval, which is very wrong.
